So, this week was pretty much the same. Last Friday there was a
big worship service at Crea, it was really good for the guys there, we
did our drama’s and 2 of our team gave their timelines. It did not last
as long as it was supposed to cause Robert’s wife broke her leg dancing
in worship…… (Robert is the pastor that speaks at Crea)…. A lot
of us prayed for her that night and I ask that you all pray for her and
Roberto, they have a vary busy life and they are 2 of the most
respected people that i know here in Nicaragua.

Sunday the team went to Mambochow to do a zipline tour. It was
really fun; there were like 10 different ones that we rode and they
were so much fun. I made myself go first so that I would not talk
myself out of it, and it was awesome. On second longest one I wanted to
take a video………. bad idea, I was not in control and lost it a
bit. I did this sweet wipe out and my arm got all cut up……. but I
was fine, I did the rest okay until we got to the decent part and then
I freaked out! I was shaking and on the way down I think I screamed,
I’m not sure it is just a blur now……. then we had a very
bumby ride back to Granada, some of the team say that they lost there
minds for awhile on the way there.

To say a few
things about Granada…… well what do I say? I guess i will just tell
you about the little things…… Well, the little
shops in the city are how we get our food… there are like 3 that I go to for my snacks, one across from the guys house another that you can get cheap drinks from and another that is near the girls house, iy is nice to go to after lunch and we need a drink…… to get food in bulk we go to Pali or La Colonia, they are the bigger stores in Granada. in Managua the La Colonia is where the rich people go to shop…… I only go there when I want to get a cheap snacks or drinks, I save cords that way…..

The best way to get money down here is to go to the BAC bank and withdrawl your money in dollors then go to the exchangers on the street. The place I go now is the paper store on market street (not real name) I got an exchange rate of 19.70 so for one dollor i get 19.70 cordobas….
One of my friends from the Hogar Crea progarm I found out today has left and I dont know what to think I gave him some money to get some food and I pray that is how he uses it; to keep himself sober and off drugs. I spent time in prayer today for him and I ask you to pray for him…… and pray for me to learn to work with what God gives me……..
The zip line sounds like fun. I will be praying for you and for your friend. God has given you many gifts in the way that you know how to be a friend. keep using those gifts and you will continue to be a blessing to the people that you meet.
Much love,
Mom
